‘‘As an example of tbs transfer
of power to Austin, county boards

bidden to enter into any agree-

Thus, opponents of Senate Bill

Judge Belcher has been accoin-
pained to Palo Pinto by District

important investigations before the
grand jury was that of threa

These and other “fact* and fic-
tions’’ about alcohol are discussed
in a new book, “The Problem
Drinker,” (Duell, Sloane A Pieree)
by Joseph Hirsh, executive director
of the Research Council on Prob-
lems of Alcohol, New York City.
Not a Stimulant
They are among the questions
asked more frequently by the pub-

are based on the findings, opinions

Station
Is alcohol a stimulant? No, |t’s
a depreaesnat and acts like an
anesthetic.
Does it overcome physical fati-
gue? It overcomes the feeling of
fatigue, temporarily. Actually, it
■lows down muscular output and
mental reaction*, especially when a
person is tired.
Is alcohol fattening? It has food-
like qualities and the body can use
K In piece Of fats and carbo-
hydrates. The energy from alcohol
can’t be stored. So your body may
use it and store the fat from food.
♦ Is alcohol ‘'warming’’ during ex-
posure to cold? Yes and no, says
Hirsh. Even small amounts make
blood vessels of the skin dilate,
generating a Sense of warmth. But
this leads to a loss of body tem-
perature. .
On snake bite: Shock, heat ex-
haustion and snake bite al) result
In lowered blood pressure. Akohol
itself lowers blood pressure and
thus “is frequently dangerous and
harmful if given in more than the
smallest quantities in these rendi-
tions.”
Can Be Recovered ,
As for diseases: There is no
medical evidence to indicate that
alcohol causes any diseases of the
kidneys, or that it actually causes
cirrhosis of the liver. It is in no
way a cause of heart disease or
high blood pressure.
Can alcoholism be cured? "On

"Problem drinkers” are those
who can’t stop, Hirsh explains. It
is estimated that there are about

Sixty million Americans drink alco-
holic beverages, and some 3,780,-

that all the board members would
be elected from the larger centers,
with little chance that the smaller
and rural counties ever would gain
representation
“The election* would be held in
April of each year, coinciding with
the election of local school trus-
tees. Since the state board Job
is unremuneiated and since the
election would occur at a time
apart from regular biennial elec-
tions. the likelihood i* remote that
keen competition would develop
among candidate* or that great
public interest would he aroused.
"This could result in only a
small out-turn of voter* to alaet
men for the highly important job
of aducattonal policy making and
would give well-organised minority
groups opportunity to elect the
board members and thus exert
great influence over the policies
governing school operations.

sioner of education would take of-
